e e e — MATCH RACE TAKEN BY COLUMBIA FIRE But Contest with Hal McKinney Not Satisfactory Test of Horses' Merits, JUDGES HOLD ONE HEAT VOID By G. K. MURRAY. Five thousand speotators who attended the racing at the Douglas county fair yesterday saw some excellent contests, but it was the horses in the class races which provided the thrills instead of [Hal McKinney and Columbia Fire . The matoh race between these two horses was a disappointment with the ex oception of the time in two heats, which undeniably was extremely fast oconsid- ering that the track was not very fast, the weather was cold and a strong wind #wept up the stretches carrying clouds of dust with it. Hal McKinney paced a mile in 2:09Z and Columbia Fire stepped in 2:10. Unfavorable conditions undoubt edly made a difference of three seconds to the mile to horses traveling at that rate of speed. Columbia Fire won, but nobody belleved that it was a just verdict so far as a test of merit between the horses was concerned. It did prove that Columbla Fire is Hal McKinney's superior in a Jong drawn out contest in unfavorable weather and track conditions. But everybody knew that fact before the race started. What the spectators wanted to see was whether Hal McKin- ney could beat Columbla Fire for three | such a | test aid’ not result. What was to have | heats, but as events developed been the first heat was declared no heat by the judges on the ground that each driver fouled the other driver during the mile, That mile was paced in 2:12% and us it took four heats after that before Columbia Fire was declared the victor it was In effect a five-heat race.

Rockefeller, jr., resumed his inspection of the properties of the Colorado Fuel ana Iron company today. The Standard Off magnate rose early, doused his face in the common wash basin at the miners' boarding house, sat |down with_an assembly of coal diggers and attacked' a typical mining camp breakfast. It was expected several camps would be visiteq during the day. | Rockefeller spent several hours Inspect- ing the Primero camp. He talked with John Pannich and Harry Schoupe, griev- | ance representatives of the miners, con- | ferred with Dr. A. 8. Gregg, camp physi- clan, regarding sanitary conditions, vis- {ited the public school and spoke briefly | to the children. The party then started for Sopris. Rockefeller made his first financial con- | tribution in connection with his inspection | trip today. The amount was not dis- closed, but it was to bulld a bandstand for the Primero miners’ band, which ser- enaded him last night to his expressed delight. The band is composed of coal | diggers of different nationalitles, con- | ducted by Dr. A. C. Gregs, camp physi- clan. After the serenade Rockefeller ques- tioned Dr, Gregg as to how the band's equipment had been paid for. “The instruments and music were bought with contributions made by the miners. The only thing the boys haven't been able to pay for is a bandstand. If we could bulld a stand we could have concerts Sundays and during the summer evenings.” Mr, Rockefeller apparently the problem during the night | he called on Dr. Gregg and 3 | “I have been thinking about that mat- | ter of & bandstand. If the boys will ac- cept it from me, I will be glad to pay for a stand ang let it be & memento to my | visit.” | Work will begin shortly in its construc- tion.

From St. Josepn and Des Moines some yelps at the dismissal of O Nefll are b ing made, The yelps are probably largely due to the fact that Isbell and Hoiland were side tracked from the board of di- rectors. It is asserted that It will be a difficult matter to find a man of O'Nelll's ability and that O Nelll is so popalar with the powers that be in base ball that the Western league will incur the official dlsfavor of the blg boys it O'Nelll is shunted from the Western ranks.
